Latin Name:  Menispermum davuricum
Family:  Menispermaceae
Author:  DC.
 
Known Hazards:  The whole plant is poisonous[218].
 
Mature Height:  3.6   Mature Width:  
 
Habitat:  Not known



Cultivation Notes:  Succeeds in any moderately fertile soil that does not dry out excessively in summer, in sun or partial shade[200]. Prefers full sun[219]. This species is hardy to about -30°c, but, due to a lack of summer heat, the plants usually produce soft growth in mild maritime areas and this can be cut to the ground at temperatures around -5 to -10°c[200]. The plants do not require pruning, but can benefit from being cut back to ground level every 2 - 3 years in order to keep them tidy[219]. Closely related to M. canadense, differing mainly in its annual or rarely persistent aerial stems[200]. A twining plant, it spreads freely by means of underground suckers[11, 182]. Dioecious. Male and female plants must be grown if seed is required.
